Israel-Gaza latest: Spain bans ships carrying weapons for Israel from docking at its ports - as Gaza hospital chief issues desperate plea amid 'massacre'

By Alistair Bunkall, Middle East correspondentAfter considerable delay, the US built pier is now operational off Gaza. Weather and security conditions have been blamed, but in truth this was supposed to be up and running some weeks before now. The floating pier is estimated to have cost more than $250m to construct.Early on Friday morning, the first trucks began moving aid ashore.

The port of Larnaca in Cyprus is being used as a staging and screening post, as ships have already been preloaded with aid in anticipation. Commercial ships will offload the aid at a floating pier a few kilometres offshore. Smaller US naval ships will then transport it to a long causeway stretching off the coast. From there, lorries will make the final part of the journey to a secure onshore facility before it is taken into Gaza.
